These are today's numbers. And this clock is ticking by the second. But $7.7 trillion is the national debt today and ticking. Maybe we will be able to get the technology here where this will keep moving, $7.79 trillion national debt today. And I think this is the most staggering number. Someone sitting at home watching this or sitting up in the gallery, their individual share of the national debt is $26,300. So if one is born today, welcome to being born in the United States of America, they have a $26,000 tag on their head.
